Patent number: 11439555Abstract: The invention includes a medical technology station and a method for using the medical technology cart. The station can be a portable cart that can be movable, such as rollable, and has a computer system. Attached to the cart is a housing that communicates with the computer system. Insertable in the housing is a cassette system that includes a series of drawers. The drawers are openable and preferably closeable on command from a user. The drawers have a readable unique drawer identifier that is readable by sensors in the cassette. The cassette also preferably includes proximity sensors, while the drawers contain a target for the proximity sensors. In use, an operator, with proper credentials, can, though the computer system, identify a drawer to be opened by the computer system. The cassette and drawers can be removed from the housing and transported to another location for filling of the drawers with medications or other supplies.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Capsa Solutions LLCInventors: Robert Volek, Jack Finnerty, Jin Chen, Krzysztof Sosniak, Marcel Ipince, Charles Pfeiffer, Adam Piotrowski, Harry Tan

Patent number: 10901475Abstract: A computer docking station devised to save desktop space while also eliminating the presence of permanent cables that can clutter the work surface is disclosed. The computer docking station utilizes a split design, with a lower dock subassembly positioned beneath the work surface for housing the permanent cables necessary for the computer workstation to operate and an upper dock subassembly comprising one or more data ports positioned on top of the work surface. A monitor arm mount can be attached to, or integrated into, the upper dock subassembly, thereby alleviating the need for a separate monitor arm mount without negatively impacting the docking station's footprint.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Humanscale CorporationInventors: Robert Volek, Steve Bender, David Wong
